Although there was a fight, the matter was finally resolved peacefully, and everyone was happy.

Li Fei generously used the aura of the wood spirit to heal the injured Elder Shi and the Miao guards.

There was nothing going on in Baihe Village, and Li Fei and his party didn't plan to go back, so Zhao Ling'er instructed Elder Shi to send someone to escort Han Mengci home.

Who knew that Han Yixian and Jiang Shaoyun actually rushed to Guiyin Mountain with a large group of villagers, and they were here to support Li Fei and others.

While Li Fei couldn't cry or laugh, he also accepted their affection very much.

They knew that the Miao people were coming for Zhao Ling'er, and in addition to saving Han Mengci, this trip also meant to help Zhao Ling'er.

Han Mengci told a white lie, saying that Elder Shi and his party were Zhao Linger's mother's family, and this matter was just a misunderstanding from beginning to end.

In the end, Li Fei came forward, explained a little to Han Yixian, and thanked him, so Han Yixian and they took Han Mengci away.

It was getting late today, and everyone decided to rest here for the night and leave tomorrow morning.

There were twenty-five people under Elder Shi, four people from Li Fei and his party, and just thirty people with Elder Shi himself.

This is the lair of the bandits, so naturally there is no place to live, and the houses where the bandits live are around the ghost altar.

In a large wooden house, all the Miao guards ate and drank around the table.

On the central main table, there were five people, Li Fei, Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, Zhao Ling'er, and Elder Shi, and the little fox was honestly lying beside Li Fei and did not run around.

"Elder Shi, we don't know each other, come, I salute you for this bowl of wine."

Li Xiaoyao raised the wine bowl and gestured to Elder Shi.

The wine was left behind by the previous bandits, and they couldn't take it with them anyway.

Tonight successfully met with Zhao Ling'er, and all the Miao people were also very happy, so Elder Shi asked them to take out the wine and let it go.

Seeing this, Elder Shi said, "Li Shaoxia has such cultivation at a young age, and he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the world in the future." ”

"The old man was offended a lot before, and I hope Li Shaoxia doesn't take it to heart."

After speaking, he touched Li Xiaoyao, and then drank it all.

After Li Xiaoyao drank this bowl of wine, he smiled and said, "Elder Shi, although you are acting a little overbearing, you are also thinking about Ling'er, and I will not take it to heart." ”

Elder Shi said happily: "Li Shaoxia can understand the old man, that's the best, and the old man also respects you a bowl." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the wine jar and poured himself a bowl full of it.

Li Fei and the others walked with him one after another, and the previous festival was completely over, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Elder Shi quickly learned about the relationship between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, and he was very satisfied with this colt in his heart.

Although the other party is not a powerful person, with his skills, he is enough to be worthy of his own princess.

If the princess succeeds to the throne in the future, having his help can be described as a tiger with wings.

The most important thing is that behind them is Li Fei, an unfathomable witch queen.

"Gongzi Li, I heard what you said before, your clan is not what we know, so can you ask Gongzi for advice, where do you come from?"

Looking at Elder Shi's serious expression, Li Fei said calmly: "Why not, Elder Shi wants to hear it, and I will start with you at the beginning." ”

Li Fei told Zhao Ling'er what he told Zhao Ling'er at the beginning, and the story about the Three Emperors was repeated from beginning to end.

Finally, he said: "I don't know what happened ten years ago, but the witch queen was definitely slandered and framed." ”

"My Nuwa clan has guarded the common people for generations, and for thousands of years, I have never done anything to harm the common people in the world."

"Sacrificing oneself to save the common people is the fate that Nuwa's descendants can't escape, and they have been in retreat for countless years in order to break this fate."

After listening to Li Fei's story, Elder Shi's mind couldn't calm down for a long time, and he began to think carefully about the situation ten years ago, and said one of the five tens.

After everyone listened to his words, Lin Yueru slapped the table and said angrily: "The matter is already very clear, it is definitely the traitor of Baiyue." ”

Li Xiaoyao echoed: "It's not wrong, from beginning to end, this matter is obviously promoted by the moon worshipper, and he is the one who is ambitious." ”

Elder Shi said bitterly: "It seems that the old man and the witch king, as well as all the people of the Black Miao clan, have been blinded by the moon worship, old man...... I'm sorry for the witch queen! ”

Li Fei comforted: "Elder Shi doesn't need to mind, fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now, when we return to Nanzhao, we will try to let the people see the true face of the moon worship, and return Nanzhao to a bright future." ”

Elder Shi got up, gave Li Fei a deep look, and said, "Everything, please leave it to Li Gongzi." ”

……

Early the next morning, everyone set off down the mountain and headed for Yangzhou.

There are three or four hundred miles from Guiyin Mountain to Yangzhou, but the group is a master of martial arts, and they arrived outside Yangzhou in just two days.

At Li Fei's suggestion, Elder Shi and his entourage changed into Han family clothes and pretended to be a small caravan, but they were not eye-catching.

Yangzhou City is one of the largest cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and the outline of the city can be seen from afar.

Before entering the city, there was an endless stream of business travelers outside the wall, and there was also a lively market outside the city, showing a prosperous scene.

The gates of the city were guarded by many patrolmen.

Li Xiaoyao and others didn't think about it at first, and thought that Yangzhou City University had a lot of rights and wrongs, so the pass was also tightly guarded.

When the group entered the city gate, they found a group of people talking about it in front of a notice board on the street opposite the gate.

Li Xiaoyao curiously leaned up to watch, but saw a notice that read: "According to the order of Yangzhou Taishou, there has been rampant in the city recently, in order to track down the suspects, business travelers, according to the law, they are only allowed to enter the city, not out of the city." ”

Li Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, and said in surprise: "Only allowed to enter or not to leave?" How can there be such absurd truth? ”

A city man next to him said: "This can't be helped, the city of Yangzhou has been too unquiet recently, stealing, destroying doors, everywhere." ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "The law and order are not good, that is because your officials are incompetent, forbidding everyone to go out of the city, isn't this treating a Yangzhou city as a big prison cell, all of them are locked up?" ”

The faces of the people in the city changed slightly, and when they saw that Li Xiaoyao was open-mouthed, they were afraid of getting into some trouble, so they walked away.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao didn't say anything more, and went back to tell Li Fei about the situation.

Li Fei just nodded casually and didn't care too much.

Li Xiaoyao naturally understands that if they want to get out of the city, who can stop them? Naturally, he didn't have to pay attention to the notice.

"We're just passing by, don't pay much attention to it, it's not early, let's find a place to stay first!"

Li Xiaoyao has no objections, but Elder Shi and his party don't care, as long as they can follow Zhao Ling'er, nothing else has anything to do with them.

Along the way, there are shops on both sides, such as knife grinding shops, wine and meat shops, weapons shops, pawnshops, north and south goods, inns, all kinds of stores are full of people and busy.

After passing by a few small inns, Li Fei and the others turned a blind eye, there were thirty of them, and such a small hotel could not live.

After walking a few streets, I saw a notice on the wall again.

"It has been found that there is a gang of female snitches who are thieves, lawless, stealing everywhere, and doing many evils, this order is hereby issued, and there is a secret report that the person who has confirmed it will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver."

Li Xiaoyao was speechless: "Look, even women in Yangzhou City have committed crimes." ”

Lin Yueru echoed: "This is really special, I thought that the female snitch was only in the legend of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Xiaoyao laughed and said: "I don't know if it's the sister-in-law's skills, or the skills of these female snitches." ”

Lin Yueru smiled and said, "If you have the opportunity, you may be able to compete." ”

Zhao Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled: "If you let that female thief meet you two heroic heroines, it will be really unlucky." ”

Li said smugly: "That's nature. ”

There was talk and laughter all the way forward, and after walking a short distance, I saw a third notice.

"Yangzhou is too observant of the order, strict curfew, idle people are forbidden to travel at night, violators are detained for three days, 40 flogs, and a fine of 30 taels of silver."

"Those who do not report the knowledge of the offenders and conceal the thief's feelings shall be fined 300 taels of silver, those who spit and defecate shall be fined 20 taels of silver, those who obstruct official duties shall be fined 100 taels of silver, those who gather gambling will be fined 300 taels of silver, and those who injure dogs shall be fined 10 taels of silver."

Everyone was speechless, and even these bullshit trivial things were made into notices and posted, which is really a strange thing for Yangzhou Taishou.

After walking around the street for a while, I finally found a suitable place to stay.

It was a very luxurious inn, standing in the most lively area in the middle of the market, and the people who came in and out were rich and noble people in brocade and grossaline.

This inn is naturally in line with Lin Yueru's eldest lady's mind, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er don't care.

They are the kind of people who can rest well as long as they have a tile to cover them.

The group entered the store and asked for four upper rooms and three large shops downstairs.

Gu Coffee has four upper rooms, namely one for Li Fei, one for Lin Yueru, one for Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, and one for Elder Shi.

There are 10 berths in one Chase shop, and 25 people live in three rooms, which is very relaxed.

After arranging the accommodation, Li Fei took the initiative to order a few large tables and other banquets to greet everyone to eat.

This made Elder Shi and the group of Miao people very satisfied, although they were not short of money, but Li Fei's attitude also made them feel comfortable.

When the wine and food were served, the number of people in the inn gradually increased, and the conversation of several wealthy merchants not far away attracted their attention.

"Recently, the female snitch has been so rampant, I heard that the stolen things are all valuable, and she doesn't want them yet, so many people's family heirlooms have disappeared overnight, which is really worrying."

Another person said angrily when he heard this: "Yangzhou is too incompetent and stupid, no wonder it can't accumulate prestige, and there is no one to deter the children, how can public security not deteriorate day by day?" ”

Another sighed, "Alas...... It's just too incompetent, and there are all sycophants under him, and there is no half of the available materials, and it is difficult to make a difference. ”

"That is, the thieves are not easy to catch, and there are so many bans, is this Taishou going to deal with the common people, or is it going to deal with the snitch?"

What a few wealthy businessmen talked about was the horror of the snitch and the evil shape of the government.

It can be seen that this is already the two major hatreds of the residents in Yangzhou, and the harm to the people may be no less than that of monsters.

Li Fei shook his head and said softly: "People always say that when troubled times are coming, there will be demons, but in fact, which troubled times are caused by demons?" It's not all about people. ”

Everyone was silent, this is a very sad thing, such as there are signs of chaos today, the national glory of the Tang Dynasty has gone through prosperity and decline, and I am afraid it is about to come to an end.

For Lin Yueru and others, this is just a possibility.

But Li Fei clearly knew that the Guozuo of the Tang Dynasty was only a few years longer than Nanzhao.

Five years after the fall of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty also disappeared, and the Central Plains began to enter a period of great division of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and after eating, Lin Yueru invited Zhao Ling'er to visit her daughter's shop, Zhao Ling'er happily went, and Elder Shi sent a few Miao guards to accompany her.

Li Fei and Li Xiaoyao went back to their rooms to rest.

The rich businessmen who were talking about the Snitch Mansion at the table also quickly dispersed, and one of the rich merchants walked to his room with a green bag in his arms.

As he passed by Li Xiaoyao's room, a sharp roar suddenly sounded from the window, and the rich merchant felt that something extremely sharp and invisible passed through the tip of his nose.

The rich merchant suddenly paused, and turned his head from side to side stiffly to look at it.

On the window on the right, there is a slender hole in the window paper, and there is also a transparent flat hole in the guardrail on the left.

He reacted immediately, if he took a step faster, his body would be pierced, and he immediately let out an exclamation.

The door was immediately opened, Li Xiaoyao rushed out, he looked at the rich businessman nervously and asked, "This boss, are you okay?" ”

However, it was Li Xiaoyao who was pondering the sword technique in the room before, and he was a little fascinated all of a sudden, and he inadvertently stirred up a sword qi.

Hearing an exclamation outside, he immediately came back to his senses, for fear that he would miss and hurt someone, so he hurriedly came out to check.

The rich businessman looked at Li Xiaoyao with fear, squeezed out a reluctant smile, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you're a hero...... Practicing martial arts? ”

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said apologetically: "I didn't pay attention for a while, I almost hurt you, I'm really sorry." ”

The rich businessman dared to say anything, but instead laughed and said: "Where, where, the hero's words are serious, I'm not fine!" What does the hero do when he comes to Yangzhou City? Bulk shipments? Looking for a girl? ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "No, it's not, it's just passing by." ”

The rich merchant said: "Oh, passing by! The house where the hero lives is the top in Yangzhou City, and even I am reluctant to live, which is really a big deal. ”

"How many products do you want to worship? Where's the height? I'd like to ask you for a lot of promotions! ”

Li Xiaoyao smiled secretly in his heart, my aunt opened a small inn in Yuhang, and wanted to promote you, and she could teach you to cook two dishes at most.

He didn't like to see the needles like this, and he would go to the camp when he had the opportunity, so he only smiled slightly and said, "It's good that you're not injured, I'm sorry, take your leave." ”

Seeing this, the rich merchant was a little disappointed, and then looked at the hole that was shot out by the sword qi, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and hurriedly walked to his room.

Li Xiaoyao went back to his room and meditated behind closed doors, and continued to study the sword technique, but he didn't dare to compare at will.

The hour gradually passed, the sky gradually darkened, and he saw that Zhao Ling'er had not come back yet, so he walked out of the door, ready to go out to have a look.

There is a curfew in Yangzhou City, and if they don't come back, they will break the ban.

Although it is said that chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, there is no need to commit this kind of infamous ban.

He walked down the corridor to the dining hall, and was about to go downstairs, but in the empty hall, he saw three scoundrels surrounding a woman sitting at a table.

The woman's skin was white and beautiful, her clothes were silky, and she seemed to slightly expose a small half of her fragrant shoulders intentionally or unintentionally.

A soft silk is held obliquely, covering half of his face, and his eyes are charming, and anyone who sees it will be thrilled.

But the harassment of the three scoundrels obviously made her very impatient.

The three of them were all unattractive, dressed in good clothes, and laughed in their mouths: "Little lady, you are so fragrant, let the uncle hug it!" ”

"Look at your fine skin and tender meat, I really want to pinch it."

"Are you free at night? How many happy and happy brothers are? ”

The woman's face was ugly, and Li Xiaoyao was thinking about whether to go up to fight the grievances, and she had already taken a sip of the wine glass with her little hands painted with bright red Kodan.

Then she poured another cup and said, "Do you want to drink?" ”

The three scoundrels were overjoyed and said, "Drink, drink, of course." ”

"This cup has the lips of the little lady stained, even if it is urine, I drink it."

"I'll go first, I'll go first."

Even if the woman was cold and indifferent, she still showed indescribable flattery, and said, "Don't worry, one person has a cup, and all of them have a share." ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and their words became more and more obscene.

Li Xiaoyao smiled self-deprecating when he saw this, it turned out that he was willing to fight and suffer, but fortunately I didn't meddle in my affairs.

Just as she was about to leave, the woman got up softly and looked at Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao was stunned and nodded at her.

The woman only glanced at him, then turned and walked to the room, where she saw the three scoundrels fall unconscious.

Li Xiaoyao was shocked, but the woman was not surprised, and continued to move forward as if nothing happened.

Li Xiaoyao became curious and caught up with her to find out her details.

I saw the woman enter a small room on the east side.

Li Xiaoyao was pacing outside, embarrassed to ask her what method she used to bring down the three scoundrels, but he didn't want to leave like this.

The woman's figure was reflected in the window, as if she was grooming in the mirror, and her movements were still so soft, she was really charming.

At this time, a nasal voice came from the room, and he said angrily: "Those three idiots just fell for Daigo, and they will wake up after lying there and sleeping for an hour." ”

"Little brother, what else do you want to know?"

Li Xiaoyao's face was red, and he hurriedly said, "No...... No, nothing, bother. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly left, walked towards the gate, and said secretly in his heart: "I actually know that I am outside, and it can be seen that the charming woman is also deeply hidden." ”

When I got to the door, I looked at the twilight sky, turned my head to look around, and just happened to see Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru holding hands, talking and laughing back, followed by four Miao guards.

Before the two girls returned to the inn, when they saw Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru quipped: "What? I haven't seen you for a while, so I miss your little Ling'er? ”

Zhao Ling'er looked at Li Xiaoyao and pursed her lips and smiled.

Li Xiaoyao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and sneered: "I'm afraid that you will miss the hour and violate the curfew, so come and see." ”

Accompanied the two girls back to the inn, and when they passed by the places where the scoundrels were sleeping, Li Xiaoyao whispered to them what had just happened.

The two women are also amazed, the so-called Daigo incense is a kind of exotic flower, the floral fragrance is intoxicating, very powerful, and the smell is no different from drinking spirits after a long time.

Drying and grinding its petals into powder has become a very powerful drug.

I don't know what the origin of that woman is, it can't be the female snitch who provoked the lockdown too much, right?

Several people went to Li Fei's room to chat for a while, but Li Fei only said to wait and see what happened, and did not discuss it much.

As the night wore on, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

Although Li Fei and Lin Yueru have a marriage contract and belong to an unmarried couple, after all, they are not yet married, so it is naturally impossible to sleep together.
